What can I claim?

Hi there, I not due to go back to work until August, but at the moment I really don't to go back, was just wondering if there is anything I can claim if I didn't go back to work? My husband earns ??14000 a year & I'd be the same if i did go back or half that if i went back part time.Thanks for your help Katie x

I actually havent a clue but if you lok on the governemt website www.direct.gov.uk you can probably find out on there. do you claim child tax credits or working tax credit, if not you would prob be able to get child tax cred dont know about working tax cred though

if you earn under a set amount i think 15,000, you can get some working tax credit as well as your family tax credits. you can also apply for housing benifit, council tax benifit and access to leisure passes and maybe free perscriptions. but as far as i know if you are only gonna be just over then its worth claiming but if your alot over 15000 you will be better off working.

Hi katielou you will be entilited to alot as your hunsband is classed as a low wage earner. I would do as bigmumma suggested go on the website or call into your local council and pick up some leaflets. I do know some people that are better off staying at home than work and if i could do it i would x
